After becoming a parent, Liu Dahe lived a very happy life, Niu's family cleaned up the house in an orderly manner, and the happiest thing for him was that Niu's food was very delicious.

A year later, the two gave birth to a big fat son, this time the little couple is more beautiful, the husband and wife put two wooden beds in the back room, one large and one small, the couple slept on a big shelf bed, the son Liu Afu slept on a small bed, and Liu Dahe also carved flowers for the shelf bed at home.

When the neighbors came to visit the house, Niu would often show off his carved bed, and every time the effect was good. Many people in the village can't eat enough, it would be good to have spare money to buy a bed, who spends that spare money to carve the bed, most people in the nearby villages put a few stones in the house, and then lay wooden planks and straw on the stone as a bed, except for newlyweds, of course.

Envy is envy, the people in the village still have some complaints about Niu's, this unreliable daughter-in-law often sends things to her mother's house in large bags, Liu Dahe earns a lot all year round, but Liu Dahe and his son Liu Afu often wear clothes with patches, but Niu's family is brightly dressed.

Not only the people of Liujia Village pay attention to Niu's, but even the people of Niujia Village are very red at Niu's, looking at the Niu's big bags and small bags sent to his mother's house, he can't help but think that Niu's would be his own daughter. Now everyone who has a daughter in Niujia Village educates their daughters to take Niu's example as an example, and every family wants to marry their daughters to someone like Niu Chrysanthemum's husband Liu Dahe.

At the entrance of Liujia Village, rows of willow trees are planted, and the green branches sway in the wind, reflecting in the river, and the scenery is picturesque.

Aunt Wang and a few women sat on the bluestone slab under the willow tree, chatting while doing work, which was very lively.

Some of the women take the soles, some weave straw shoes, there are many people in Liujia Village who wear straw shoes, almost every household will weave straw shoes, the most expensive thing for rural people to go up the mountain and down the field is shoes, and the daughter-in-law of the family will take the soles when she is fine.

The sole of this shoe is also quite exquisite, the mille-feuille bottom, the small cloth head paste at home, layer by layer paste, after drying, stitch by needle to sew the entire sole densely, this mille-feuille sole is very expensive cloth, after the women do it, leave a few pairs for their own use, and most of the rest are sold to the shop in the town to supplement the family.

Liu Dahe walked over with a toolbox, and the coarse cloth clothes on his body were already soaked with sweat, and there were still wood chips stuck to them.

Aunt Wang was married from Wangjia Village, and she was usually keen to help others, and when she saw Liu Dahe, she said: "Dahe, I came back so early today, I am in a hurry to go home to see my daughter-in-law, your daughter-in-law should be about to give birth, right?" I have something to tell my aunt, anyway, the fields have not been busy recently. ”

Liu Dahe wiped the sweat from his forehead and thanked Aunt Wang: "It's about to give birth, thank you for your concern." ”

Liu Dahe walked quickly towards the village as he spoke.

The women continued to talk loudly, and when they mentioned Liu Dahe's mother-in-law, Niu Chrysanthemum, they were all envious.

"Dahe makes a lot of money all year round, and no one in the village earns as much as him except for the Hua family."

"Dahe is a daughter-in-law who often buys meat and pastries for Niu Chrysanthemum."

"Dahe's daughter-in-law never has to go to the field, unlike the black one we tanned."

"Dahe is a pitiful, his mother Xu is out of tune, and the cow chrysanthemum in Niujia Village who married is also unconscious, and he goes to his mother's house twice in three days to move things."

Xiao Wang: "According to me, Dahe's daughter-in-law is really not good, she takes everything at home to her mother's house, but she doesn't care much about her husband and son." ”

On the side, Xiaolan asked Xiao Wang: "Don't you often go to your mother's house to get things?" ”

Xiao Wang: "Xiaolan, don't mention in front of my man that I send things to my mother's family, I will send a little bit to my mother's family every year, or hide it from my family's man, the whole family can't eat enough, how dare I send things to my mother's family." ”

"Don't forget, Niu's baby has been pregnant for twelve months."

"In the past few days, I said that I was about to give birth, and Liu Dahe had already waited for the midwife to take her at home."

"It's usually conceived in October, I think Niu Chrysanthemum's baby is a little weird?"

Peach Blossom Girl: "It shouldn't have been stillborn a long time ago." "Peach Blossom Niang is a hated person in Liujia Village, and no one or anything is as good in her mouth.

Aunt Wang: "Peach Blossom Girl, don't talk nonsense, Dahe took Niu to Fushengtang several times, and the old doctor helped diagnose the pulse and said that the child was normal." ”

Peach Blossom Niang pouted: "It's obviously very abnormal, have you ever seen a child stay in the mother's womb for so long?" ”

Everyone shook their heads......

Liu Dahe walked into the courtyard gate, put the toolbox under the eaves, and rubbed his hands nervously when he heard Niu's scream coming from inside the house.

Niu's old lady Yu was boiling eggs and sugar water for Niu Chrysanthemum on the stove, and when she saw Liu Dahe's nervous appearance, she said to Liu Dahe: "Dahe, Chrysanthemum went out and fell a little today, and she may be about to give birth, and Mrs. Wang is watching it in the house." ”

When Yu Shi spoke, it suddenly became dark, and the village immediately became noisy, and Yu shouted: "Ah, no, the tengu has eaten the sun." ”

Liu Dahe hurriedly went to the stove to find the oil lamp, and before the oil lamp was lit, the sky was bright again, and a baby's cry reached his ears. After a while, the midwife's mother-in-law ran out with blood on her hands: "Dahe, your daughter-in-law is bleeding nonstop, hurry up to the town to invite Langzhong." ”
